About the Academy

Candy's Dance & Fitness Academy opened on May 1st, 2004. All teachers hold a degree or certification for the technique or class that they teach.

The academy offers small class sizes, classes for purely recreation-seeking students and classes for competitive dance students. All students are guaranteed personal attention by the Director and by their class teachers.

All students have the opportunity to try out for the Dance Company or Hop Hop Dance Team. The Dance Company produces their own pre-professional end-of-the-year performances and may participate in regional and national competitions.

Our Mission

"Candy’s Academy allows the dancers to use movement to express themselves freely without judgement. Through dance students can express their hungers, pains, angers, sorrows, joys, confusions and fears, long before they may use words. To use expressive therapy is a way to teach every dancer how to achieve control of their body, in order to use it to the limit of their ability, for the expression of their reactions to life."
- Director Candy Ann Dennis
